• “I’ll raise you twenty Holos.” Said one of the four PREPS sitting around a small table in the Tower. “I fold boys. Too much for me.” Said another as he placed his cards on the table. “Won’t even play for a night with the commanders’ whore?” said another. “Oh…I don’t have to play for that. I just have to ask and she’ll be all over me.” “Better believe it. I’d bet my life she’s never not been wet for some Tom or Joe who asks her in between his sheets.” Said the first, as he pushed a few more Holos into the pile of loot. “I’m with you on that bet.” Said the fourth as he dropped a few onto the pile. The Tower exploded. “Beautiful.” Proclaimed Evidence with an awestruck smile on her face. “Yes you are.” Said Jovich. “I meant the explosion.” She said. “Babe you’re the only one exploding in my eyes. You’re a total bombshell in black.” He replied. “You flatter me. Now focus. You can sweet talk me later. It’s not really needed but what sane girl turns that down?” “Eve, you’ve never been sane. Don’t start acting like it now.” He said. “True. I think you know me better than I know myself, Jovich.” “I probably do. I definitely know your body better than anybody else.” “Let’s go Hailey.” Said Greed as he ran out to take out the nearest PREP rushing out of the Barracks. Jovich and Evidence set a few more mines and headed back to the SUV, While Greed and Hailey started picking off the PREPS to make Dimitri’s entrance easier.

    “Did you hear that?” said Selene, her wolf like ears perking up at the sound of the explosion. “I did. It sounded like an explosion.” Replied Marie. She ran to the door and listened to see if the guards were still there. “The guards are still there. Something about the Tower. Lost contact. Rebels attacking. That’s all I could get out of it.” “Do you think their coming for us?” “Perhaps. Or it could just as likely be that their just attacking the compound. Grab your bow just in case. Aim at the door, no guards are to pass through those doors alive. Do you understand Selene?” “Yes sister.” She responded as she aimed her silver bow at the door with a Falcon Arrow on the bowstring. Marie went to the back wall and passed her hand over the left side of a section of the wall. A keypad appeared and she put in a code. The wall moved back easily to expose a small arsenal of guns, knives, daggers and swords. She started strapping each of the weapons to her and putting a few in a bag at the bottom of the wall arsenal. With all the weapons packed she swung the bag strap over her shoulder and drew two silver-plated guns, one for each hand, and aimed at the door. Together the sisters waited for any attack.
